May is Teacher Appreciation Month, and SONIC is honoring educators across the country by teaming up with DonorsChoose.org to provide supplies and materials to public school teachers.

The campaign officially kicked off on May 8, and SONIC will match every dollar donated through various programs and initiatives, with the hopes of reaching $1 million. Those who are interested in donating can visit the Limeades for Learning projects page and choose a project to support. SONIC will match you dollar for dollar.

SONIC has been supporting this initiative since 2009. Over the past decade, the company has worked with DonorsChoose.org and helped over 27,000 classrooms, donated $11,902,241, and provided enough supplies and materials to benefit more than 822,210 students.

As a thank-you to all who donate and support the teachers in our lives, donators will be eligible to receive a free Route 44 Drink or Slush at participating SONIC locations. Use the promo code TEACHERS when you order ahead using the SONIC app. The offer expires on Friday, May 31.

“Limeades for Learning connects SONIC with our communities by supporting incredible teachers who make a difference every single day,” said Christi Woodworth, vice president of public relations for SONIC. “This Teacher Appreciation Month, we encourage all of our guests to join us in celebrating teachers with a meaningful donation to a public school classroom. Plus, guests can ‘root’ for a teacher while enjoying a free Route 44 Drink or Slush when they order ahead in our app using the promo code TEACHERS – it’s a win-win!”

A few things to note: You must use the SONIC app, order ahead, and use the promo code TEACHERS to qualify for the free drink. The offer is only valid with a purchase; includes any soft drink, lemonade, or iced tea and does not extend to Red Bull™ Slush, Ice Cream Slush, and Frozen Lemonade/Limeade. One coupon code per customer, and it cannot be combined with any other offers.
